Designed to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it featured a powerful Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine and strong armour protection. The F6F-3 was the first major production variant and quickly proved effective in combat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Hellcat is credited with the majority of US Navy air-to-air victories in the Pacific Theatre, achieving an impressive kill-to-loss ratio. Its rugged construction, heavy armament of six .50 calibre machine guns and ease of maintenance made it popular with pilots and ground crews alike. A 1\/72 scale model kit of the F6F-3 represents one of the most successful naval fighters of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
